In January 1981 the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Summit meeting in Mecca declared that, "Palestine should be viewed as the paramount issue of Muslim nations." Since then Europe hastened to adopt this path as well and has provided for the Palestinization of the cultural, social and above all political life of Europe. For three decades, Europe obeyed the OIC in a servile manner. The EU has effectively created a major problem for itself that is eating away and destroying it. The EU made Palestine the hub of its international policy, transforming it into a symbol of peace and...

Apologies if this has already been postedAs you sit down with your family on Thanksgiving and consider offering a prayer of gratitude, be aware the turkey at the center of the table may have already been "blessed"  in the name of Allah. Customer service representatives from Butterball, one of America's most popular Turkey brands, confirmed to WND that the company's whole turkeys are  without being labeled as such  slaughtered according to Islamic "halal" standards. "Halal slaughter involves cutting the trachea, the esophagus and the jugular vein and letting the blood drain out while saying, 'Bismillah allahu akbar'...

Alan Johnson: How does a medical doctor come to produce books on Islam, Jihad and antisemitism? Andrew Bostom: It's pretty straightforward. The stimulus was 9/11. Until then I was an average citizen trying to keep abreast of world events. I am not particularly religious as a Jew though I certainly support the state of Israel. But I grew up in New York, living in Queens most of my life, and I went to medical school in Brooklyn. My wife and I still have family in New York City, so the day of 9/11 itself was traumatic, trying to make sure...

A Republican politician has sparked religious fury by demanding all Muslims be forced out of the U.S. military. Tennessee State Representative Rick Womick claimed serving Muslims posed a significant threat and needed to be kicked out of the armed forces because their religion commands them to lie. Interviewed on Veteran's Day by the Think Progress website he said: 'Personally I don't trust one Muslim in our military because they're commanded to lie to us. 'And if they really are a devout Muslim and follow the Koran and the and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened because they're commanded to kill...

Last Friday I was on the Sean Hannity Show, debating Muslim activist Michael Ghouse on the future of Libya. Debating Michael Ghouse is like shooting kuffar in a barrel. But Friday night, Ghouse presented me with an enormous Qur'an, courtesy of the Muslim Brotherhood-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR): The Message of the Qur'an, Translated and Explained by Muhammad Asad. Giving out these giant door-stoppers is further proof of Hamas-linked CAIR's limitless resources. Inside, Ghouse had written this inscription: "Quran has 25 translations. 2 are bad -- One by Christian Kings other by Muslims -- both to generate hate for...

Please take a look at the comparison chart in the provided link. Excellent comparison! Each year, thousands of Christian homes and churches are torched or bombed by Muslim mobs, and hundreds of Christians, including dozens of priests, pastors, nuns and other church workers are murdered at the hands of Islamic extremists. The so-called justification varies, from charges of apostasy or evangelism, to purported "blasphemy" or "insulting" Islam. Innocent people have even been hacked to death by devout Muslims over cartoons. Yet, there is little if any violent retaliation from religious Christians to the discrimination, kidnapping, rape, torture, mutilation and murder...

Muslims are forbidden to touch dogs. They believe any house where a dog is kept will never be entered by Gods angels. If this was all there was to it, who could quarrel with their position? Jews cant eat pork (Muslims cant either) Muslims cant have anything to do with dogs, whats the problem? Actually, the Muslims themselves are the problem. Muslims, especially the Islamist Muslims can not and will not leave the question of dogs alone. Because they are taught by their religion that Allah commands them to kill dogs, they could not care less who owns a particular...

By George Bush I don't mean the 41st or 43rd Presidents of the United States, but the 19th century clergyman and historian George Bush, who was also the author of the first American biography of Mohammed. Bush was also the great-grand uncle of the 41st President, and the great-great grand uncle of the 43rd President. But his views on Islam were significantly different than those of his more Saudi friendly modern day relations. George Bush was one of the more famous ministers of his day, a biblical scholar, a liberal and controversial thinker. And while his biography of Mohammed was...

Ive written several times previously about the Toronto District School Board, the Valley Park Middle School, and the controversy over officially approved sex-segregated Muslim prayers at the school during school hours. Sergei Bourachaga sends the following essay examining the issue in the larger context of the treatment of women in Islam, and creeping sharia in Ontario.

JERUSALEM  Two thousand years after they were written and decades after they were found in desert caves, some of the world-famous Dead Sea Scrolls went online for the first time on Monday in a project launched by Israel's national museum and web giant Google. The appearance of five of the most important Dead Sea scrolls on the Internet is part of a broader attempt by the custodians of the celebrated manuscripts  who were once criticized for allowing them to be monopolized by small circles of scholars  to make them available to anyone with a computer. See msnbc.com's...

Al Fadi, a Saudi native now living in America, is setting out to educate the West about his former religion  Islam. His message, rooted in what he says are deep convictions and personal truth, is sure to inspire controversy. Al Fadi converted to Christianity after coming to the United States for college. While he claims that he initially planned to convert everyone he met to Islam, something completely unexpected happened. After meeting Christians for the first time in his life, al Fadi became enamored. He explained his conversion to CBNs Erick Stakelbeck: Basically, the more I met people who...

Kalb, or dog, is one of the worst possible insults in the Muslim world. Call a man Kalb or Kalb ibn Kalb, if you want the knives to come out. In Afghanistan, those who fled the Taliban and returned to help the Coalition rebuild the country are called "Sag shouey" or "Dog washers" since Americans are infidel dogs and the Afghans who cooperate with Americans are menial servants of the dogs. Mohammed, in addition to his affinity for pre-teen girls also had a compulsive hatred of dogs. Some Hadiths quote him ordering the killing of all dogs, others show him...

I've never been more convinced that Israel is the axis on which Islamic jihad turns than after reading four, clarifying pages of Bat Ye'or's new book, "Europe, Globalization, and the Coming Universal Caliphate" (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 212 pp.). Ye'or asks. "Given the immense territories conquered and Islamized over thirteen centuries of expansion and war," she writes, "why would Muslim countries keep plotting to destroy Israel? ... Why is Israel considered so alarming?" ...........hide the age-old reason. "What Israel possesses," Ye'or explains, "is the Bible." To appreciate this explanation, it's essential to realize that Jewish and Christian Bible characters, from...

Iran's Organization of the Holy Quran is scolding Iranian publishers who've outsourced production of the holy book to Chinese printers.Apparently, their copies of the Quran are riddled with typos, according to the Tehran Times."These tableaus are made quite cheaply in China but are sold for much more than they are really worth to make that much more profit," said an official with the organization who monitors and evaluates Qurans available in Iran.The official even urged importers to halt future Quran shipments from China, the Times reported.If you're keeping score at home, China is accused of shipping out seafood laden...

Introduction Over recent years, a new phenomenon has emerged among radical Islamist circles: the rise of a global network of groups calling for the total Islamization of Western states and societies via the implementation of shari'a law, the abolishment of democratic states and their replacement by Islamic regimes. These groups, which have referred to themselves as the global shari'a movement, strive to globalize ideas and tactics hatched within radical Islamist circles in the U.K. These circles are led by Sheikh 'Omar Bakri, who was denied reentry into the country after he left for Lebanon following the 2005 London bombings, and...

Churches in the U.S. are preparing to read sections of the Torah on Sunday, August 13, in a show of solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people. The move is a response to an initiative by a group of churches that read from the Muslim Koran during their services on Sunday, June 26. According to the Faith Shared project, which initiated the Koran reading, 66 churches from 32 states joined that effort. In an effort to counter the move, a grassroots movement of churches across America is preparing to read from sections of the Torah during their services. According to...

In his 1984 bestseller, The Haj (Doubleday, NY), Leon Uris captured the essence of the Arab-Israeli conflict through his two protagonists: Haj Ibrahim, muktar of the village of Tabah in the Ayalon Valley of Mandatory Palestine, and Gideon Asch, a pre-Israel Palestinian Jew, whose familiarity with Arab life, language and culture made him an honorary Bedouin. Uris dialogue astutely reveals the vast differences between the Arab and Jewish mindsets  deeply rooted in their cultural differences. Uris focuses on the Jewish liberal, cosmopolitan culture of openness, practicality, compromise, and humanism in contrast to the unforgiving desert culture of the Arabs,...

On Wednesday, I was outraged when I read Pamela Gellers column for WorldNetDaily. You may be familiar with Ms. Geller from her website Atlas Shrugs and her work with Jihad Watchs Robert Spencer in establishing the Stop Islamization of America organization. Ms. Geller reported on a story of which I was previously unaware: the suspicious death of a Muslim woman in Tampa, Florida back in August of 2009. Her death was ruled accidental by Tampa authorities, but judging from the facts and circumstances of the case, it seems more likely that her death was murder, a so-called honor killing by...

Major victory for freedom-of -speech right in the heart of Dhimmi-centric Europe... Dutch MP Geert Wilders has long advocated an American-style freedom-of-speech for Holland and all the EU, as enshrined in the US Bill of Rights. With regular politically-driven charges like these from the Dutch Establishment Left that could destroy his party and even put Wilders behind bars (along with ceaseless death threats that emanate from welfare-sponging suburban jihadis in The Netherlands), it's not hard to see why the man might feel the need first-hand... ======================================================================== A court in Amsterdam has acquitted MP Geert Wilders of charges of inciting...

This past Friday, Florida Pastor Terry Jones was attacked by a senseless mob of leftist goons as he led another protest against the invasion of America by adherents to Islamic Shariah law, who desire to subvert the United States Constitution to the perverse Muslim ideology. Mr. Jones held a Saving America rally at Dearborn, Michigan City Hall Friday afternoon in advance of another planned protest at the annual Arab International Festival, which has previously been a notorious event for anti-Christian free speech violations. Mr. Jones led a 90-minute protest in front of City Hall, and had planned to walk with...

Homeland Security: An alarming new study shows homegrown terrorists are not just radicalized in prisons or chat rooms but in mainstream U.S. mosques. Now if someone would just tell the White House. A survey of 100 randomly selected mosques in America finds 81% of them feature Islamic literature  not including the Quran and Sunnah  that advocates violence. And 85% of the imams running the mosques actively recommend these tracts. Only 19% of the mosques do not disseminate Islamic materials sanctioning jihadi violence, according to the peer-reviewed data collected by two scholars sponsored by the Washington-based Center for Security...

A new study has demonstrated that 80% of mosques right in this country are teaching jihad warfare and Islamic supremacism. Researchers Mordechai Kedar and David Yerushalmi reported in the Summer 2011 issue of Middle East Quarterly about a new survey that found that 51% of mosques had texts that either advocated the use of violence in the pursuit of a Sharia-based political order or advocated violent jihad as a duty that should be of paramount importance to a Muslim. Another 30% of mosques in the United States had only texts that were moderately supportive of violence, while only 19% had...

He was notoriously reluctant to discuss religion while Prime Minister, with his chief spin doctor Alastair Campbell famously commenting: We dont do God. (Snip) Mr Blair has previously praised the Muslim faith as beautiful and said the Prophet Mohammed had been an enormously civilizing force. In 2006 he said the Koran was a reforming book, it is inclusive. It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition. It is practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to marriage, women and governance.

This is the second Islamic spokesman to speak out in favor of sex slavery in recent days. And that should come as no surprise: taking women captive and enslaving them as concubines is sanctioned by the Qur'an: "And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you." -- Qur'an 4:24 "Video: Shaykh al-Huwayni: 'When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her,'" from Translating Jihad, June 11: After Egyptian Shaykh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni's controversial comments...

JUNE 8, 2011 4:00 A.M. The Coordinates of Radicalism Sharia compliance correlates with violent attitudes among American Muslims. What is it that radicalizes Muslims, including American Muslims? Is it American foreign policy? Israeli occupation of the ancient Jewish territories of Judea and Samaria? Cartoons depicting the warrior-prophet as a warrior? Korans torched by obscure Florida pastors? The life of Osama bin Laden, or, perhaps, his death? Any of a thousand claimed slights, real or imagined, that purportedly provoke young Muslims to conflagrate  if we may borrow from the forgiving rationalizations of Faisal Rauf, would-be imam of the would-be Ground...

KIEV: A 19-year-old Muslim girl was stoned to death under 'Sharia law' after taking part in a beauty contest in Ukraine. Katya Koren was found dead in a village in the Crimea region near her home. Her body was buried in a forest and was found a week after she disappeared, the Daily Mail reports. Koren's friends said she liked wearing fashionable clothes and had come seventh in a beauty contest. Police investigations revealed that three Muslim youths killed her claiming her death was justified under Islam, One of the three named as 16-year-old Bihal Gaziev is under arrest and...

We need a terrorist state. Where the politicians are terrorists, the police are terrorists and even the men sitting at the desk when you come in to drop off a form are terrorists. There are states that support terrorists, and give safe harbor to them, but that's not good enough. We don't want another Pakistan or Iran. We're not half-assing it this time. What we want is the genuine article. Terrorists from the top down. Terrorists everywhere. A state where every branch of government and the entire country is nothing but terrorists. Terroristine has been an ancient dream since 1973...

We want to send a message to the world, said Tad Stahnke, director of policy and programs for Human Rights First, that Americans do respect religious differences and reject religious bigotry and the demonization of Islam or any other religion. Do the Qur'an readings below constitute demonization of Christianity? Would Tad Stahnke care to explain why not? Here are some readings that the congregants in the various churches might enjoy: Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: "From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the...

Apartheid in the Hajj By Effendi | Published: December 12, 2010 In Islamic doctrine the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to the holy sites of Mecca and Medinah, represents the highest point of Islamic liturgy. It is believed to be an obligatory experience when men and women of every race, colour and creed stands before God as equals, stripped of their wealth, their worldly possessions and their social status, just as in death.This is how Ahmad al-Akhras describes the Hajj: This great annual convention of faith demonstrates the concept of equality of mankind, the most profound message of Islam, which...

"Lady Gaga is satanic sonic sewage. SATANIC. She has recently taken to mutilating herself by implanting demonic horns in her face and shoulders. These implanted "horns" are the next body mutilation/piercing fad.

I, Hasan, the son of Akbar, resident of the village of Saraab, being of sound mind and resolute belief in Muhammad, praise be upon him (PBUH) and the 12 Imams, the Pure Ones, declare this here as my last and final will and testament. I have found it my sacred duty to answer the call and volunteer as suicide martyr for any mission that our Olama (religious leaders) assign to this humble servant. I have given the matter great thoughts and have consulted extensively with our village Agha (the mullah). Agha, with patience and understanding allowed me to ask many...

In a travesty of justice, Floridas Pastor Jones was put on trial in last week in Dearborn Michigan, he was found guilty of threatening to protest in front of a mosque (possibly burning a Koran in the process). He was ordered to pay a 1$ dollar bond fee, and is prohibited from approaching the mosque for 3 years, when he refused to pay the fee he was jailed. This decision by six jurors and a judge (who I assume went to law school at some point) exposes the complete Constitutional illiteracy of our populace and even judiciary. Here are three...

I was in the middle of nowhere. I found myself loaded up in an SUV with about 8 other American seminary students as we entered a village in the middle of some woods outside of Jakarta, Indonesia. I tensed up as we passed a Muslim training facility where we were told they train children in two things: the Koran and terror. The ethnic group in that part of Indonesia rejects all education but the Koran and radial Islam. It makes their children ripe pickings for terrorist organizations. That day was probably the scariest in my life. But I was more...

So, have you heard? The United States Constitution no longer protects freedom of speech and expression for American citizens on American soil. Yep. It became official this past Friday in Dearborn, Michigan. It all started when Gainesville, Florida pastor, Dr. Terry Jones, of the Dove World Outreach Center and his assistant pastor Wayne Sapp planned to protest in front of the largest mosque in America, which is in Dearborn. They applied for a permit to hold the protest, but not only was no permit given, they ended up in court and then in jail. As Nina Shea reports at National...

Allahpundit had a nice roundup yesterday of the pre-crime trial of pastor Terry Jones. Today I came across this impromptu interview with one of the jurors in the trial. His name is Daniel Smith and hes identified as a juror in this clip by a local Fox affiliate. As youll hear, free speech in this case definitely took a back seat to concerns over violence, specifically violent reactions from Muslims: (VIDEO AT LINK) Q: Was the weighing of the free speech question heavily ? Juror: It was an issue that we talked about but again we were we were there to really...

Whats Wrong With islamophobia? Originally published September 8, 2010, at realetybytes.com, By Ron Reale islamophobe definition: Anyone smart enough to realize that islam is NOT a religion, but a political system dependent on the barbaric sharia law, which uses intimidation, violence and beheadings to force everyone into submission, (islam does not mean peace, it means submission). It is diametrically opposed to freedom, and is a threat to the existence of the United States. Americans have a right to protest peacefully about anything. We put up with Flag burners, artists who desecrate Christian symbols, KKK protests in the street an more....

DETROIT (WXYZ) - The jury has found that a proposed protest by Quran-burning pastor Terry Jones outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, the largest mosque in the United States, is likely to breach the peace and incite violence. The jury has been debating since 3:30 p.m .Thursday. The main issue of the trial was whether or not Jones' main purpose was to say or do something that would incite violence.

A Koran-burning New Jersey Transit worker, fired for his protest near Ground Zero last Sept. 11, is getting his job back - along with an extra $25,000 for his troubles. Derek Fenton, 40, will also collect back pay since his Sept. 13, 2010, dismissal for torching pages of the Muslim holy book on the site of a proposed lower Manhattan Islamic center, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.

In a highly unusual case, a jury will decide  for the time being, at least  whether anti-Muslim Florida Pastor Terry Jones will be allowed to hold a protest outside the Islamic Center of America mosque in Dearborn on Friday evening. State Judge Mark Somers gave Jones the option of paying a $100,000 peace bond or face a jury to decide whether he can hold the protest without paying the bond. Jones refused to pay the bond and will go before a seven-member jury beginning at 8 am on Friday. Jones says he intends to hold the protest no...

(Reuters) - A Detroit prosecutor has filed a petition in district court to stop a Florida fundamentalist Christian preacher, who recently caused riots in Afghanistan after he burned a Koran, from holding a rally outside a large Michigan mosque. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said the threat of violence was too great to allow Terry Jones to hold the planned gathering on Friday near the Islamic Center of America -- the largest U.S. mosque -- in the heavily Muslim Detroit suburb of Dearborn. A hearing on Worthy's bid to block Jones and his supporters from holding the rally at the...

It is amazing, but not surprising, to watch our governments reaction to last months Koran burning by Florida Pastor Terry Jones. The indignant outrage expressed by everyone from Barack Obama on down only made me shake my head, because those same people made such a stupid big deal out of the burning of that stupid book, yet they think nothing of their own actions that effectively burn the Constitution of the United States of America. What we think about Mr. Jones actions does not really matter, because in America, he has the right of free expression and free speech, as...

A man who burned a Koran in front of city centre shoppers in Carlisle is due to be sentenced. Andrew Ryan, 32, took out a copy of the holy book from Carlisle library and then set it on fire with a lighter as a crowd gathered to hear his protests. Police arrested Ryan, of Summerhill, Carlisle, shortly after the lunchtime incident in English Street on January 19. He pleaded guilty to religiously aggravated harassment and theft at an earlier hearing. Ryan was released on bail last month as the case was adjourned for pre-sentence reports. Sentencing will take place at...

F. Scott Fitzgerald said that the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in the mind simultaneously was a mark of genius. If that were true, the U.S. government must be full of geniuses. Consider: it was just a week or two ago that everyone from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., sort of, SC) to Gen. David Petraeus and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton loudly condemned the Rev. Terry Jones for presiding over his Koran barbecue. Burning a holy book, you see, was hateful, intolerant, and extremely disrespectful. Thats how General Petraeus put it: hateful, intolerant, extremely disrespectful. For his part, Sen....

A new video at the website AnsweringMuslims.com expatiates on this contradiction: 1. You dont burn the Koran, because if you do, Muslims might go on a killing spree. 2 You do burn the Bible, because if you dont, Muslims might go on a killing spree.

A week ago Bobby Ghosh, a world news editor at Times Magazine, was on MSNBCs Hardball program. Chuck Todd, a Democrat operative and communications professional, was the substitute host for Chris Matthews. Mr. Ghosh, a native Indian, is considered a specialist on Islamicphobia in the states. He writes many articles about Islam and the Middle East. One of the things they discussed was the Muslim belated reaction to the Florida preachers burning of the Quran (Koran). Mr. Ghosh remarked that the Quran was a direct transcription of Gods word where as the Bible was written by men. Because the Quran...
